Driven
Rush · Other Songs - Rush
Driven up and down in circles
skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool's paradise
BUT IT'S MY TURN TO DRIVE
Driven to the margin of error
Drivent to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole
Driven day and night in circles
Spinning like a whirlwind of leaves
Stealing in and out of back alleys
Driven to another den of thieves
BUT IT'S MY TURN TO DRIVE
Driven in-Driven to the edge
Driven out-On the thin end of the wedge
Driven off-By things I've never seen
Driven on-By the road to somewhere I've never been
IT'S MY TURN TO DRIVE
The road unwinds toward me
What was there is gone
The road unwinds before me
And I go riding on
